Flanders and Roubaix in Images

Cobbles under gray skies and lightly rimmed with mud. Cobbles in sunlight. No matter what weather presented itself for the great cobbled Classics, the races were as punishing for riders as they were equally thrilling for fans. The looming bergs of Flanders and the dusty, broken farm roads leading to Roubaix were incredibly selective and the strong only stood taller after navigating their way safely through. Shaken, bruised, even bleeding, they pushed on. Here is a look back on an incredible week at some of the most beautiful races in the world.

When not working on creative marketing content, or capturing the muddy grit of cyclocross races with his camera, Joel can often be found navigating the climbs in the Portland, Oregon area and looking for whatever lies beyond the next rise in the road.
